Researcher Bai Ming from the Ministry of Commerce Research Institute: The open policy of the free trade pilot zone is expected to be strengthened

Bai Ming, a researcher at the Ministry of Commerce Research Institute, stated that the current external environment is complex and severe, and it is necessary to strengthen and support the stability of the foreign trade and foreign investment fundamentals. The meeting mentioned "high-level construction of free trade pilot zones and other open platforms," which is consistent with the previous "implementation of the free trade pilot zone enhancement strategy," and policies and measures for the free trade pilot zones are expected to be strengthened. In his view, free trade pilot zones should leverage their own resource endowments to become new "pioneers" in expanding high-level openness. In the context of pressure on external demand growth, the development of free trade zones helps enterprises cope with pressure and enhance competitiveness. (Shanghai Securities News)
